Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• I only ever judge my choices by whether they worked out, so when a shortcut or a small dishonesty pays off I let it slide as a win
• A choice I made blew up and I’m tearing into myself
• I beat myself up over a call that went badly even though it was reasonable with what I knew, and I pat myself on the back for a reckless one that happened to work
• I beat myself up over a call that went badly even though it was the right move with what I knew, and I let myself off the hook for reckless ones that happened to work out
• Even after I’ve chosen I leave the door cracked open "just in case," and I keep quietly re-shopping and re-comparing
